$1000 HTPC is a fair better value proposition in 2022 than even a $100 BD player - light gaming, ad free internet browsing and youtube, infinitely flexible audio and video playback. But hey, you...

Well left out the cost of the PC and MADVR, which is?
Oh wait let me guess that’s an “insane question” ! 🤣
Heck you won’t even explain how you claim you can tell us all how something “sounds”...

Anyone advocating a $400 BRD player in 2022 is out of their mind. One of my PC's is setup for HTPC with a $45 BR 4K drive and MADVR. It can upscale a 480P DVD rip to 4K and look great.

Especially if it’s anything as time consuming,costly,etc...

Fair enough. This will be my last comment and then I shall bow out :-)
I conceed that the panasonics, the 9000, 820, and the 420 are the cream of the crop. Best players out there. I say that...

The inherent problem with your justification look at this.
You are looking at ONE benefit of many of a "standalone player" and use that to compare it to the X and then saying:
"The moral of the...

Sure, the 820 has the ability to provide a better picture. But what the reviewer did, by not using the optimizer, is a pretty good indication that the Xbox series X as a 4K Blu-ray player is...

What is perceived as small is just that... a perception. I've no doubt the series X is enough, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that the difference is negligible. I've done my research before...

I completely agree we will have to agree to disagree on all this.
As YOU stated all you are concerned about is UHD HDR disc and thats it.
Aside from the many unknowns with that comparison. IMO...

Honestly I don't see a reason to buy a $400 blu-ray player if you can get XSX for $100 more.
I agree with the best TV/Projector and sound system, you should be notice a difference between Dolby...

Unless it was re-reviewed with the the fix, I dont think you should "dismiss" the issues with black levels and contrast.
Those are two very important aspects of image quality.

In terms of the X tone mapping we'll just have to agree to disagree.
The Panasonic can tone Map because the user tells it capabilities of the display. That's why the Panasonic Can tone map.
